Dear Isaac,

 

I refer to your request of 19 January 2023. The information requested in
parts 5-19 of your request are not held by the University, as the
admissions process is still underway. This constitutes a refusal of these
parts of your request under section 18(g) of the OIA. You have the right
to make a complaint to an Ombudsman if you are dissatisfied with this
response.

 

The University will respond to the remainder of your request as soon as
reasonably practicable, within the OIA’s maximum time limit of 20 working
days from the date of your request (unless extended under the OIA).

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Landon Watt
